Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to honor a prior cache by TheClueFinders. "WHFTCRP-Not A Rock Wall, Please!" [GC23T7Z] was placed Feb. 12, 2010, then found by 192 searchers before the generous CO archived it to make space for our nearby new cache, "Lesson for Urban Geocaching."


This is a copy of the original cache page:

The story is true, but the caches are nothing out of this world. I hope that everyone will find all of them. If there are any problems with them, please let me know.

Take a look at all the rock walls on my walking journey and don't complain - I only hid 1 in a rock wall.

You are probably wondering what WHFTCRP means - well, it means "Walking Home From The Car Repair Place". I got to do that one day when my car died. I had to walk from the car repair shop to my house in Edmonds. But I was glad that I had remembered my GPSr. "Surely," I said to myself, "there will be a few caches I can grab on the long walk home." (And my name isn't even Shirley). Well, much to my dismay, there were none that I hadn't already found (this was before Four Corners Cache was published).

So I decided that I would make sure nobody else would have to make that long walk of shame in the future without a chance for a couple of gimme's. All these caches are pretty easy to find, the hints are mostly in the title.

The hide is a little different this time.  After all, it is to honor the prior CO, not to copy his work.

It could be an easy grab, but often is not quickly recognized. [Sometimes a prior DNF searcher accidentally moves the cache to the sidewalk.]
